We should avoid symlinks as much as we can. This breaks search engine's result by returning same contents with multiple URLs. We now have good consistency for layout of documents and translated ones. We can get English Handbook via /handbook/ and Japanese Handbook via /ja/handbook/. One point we should consider is we have much documents than good old days ((c) Wolfram :-)). But I think root namespace (such as /FAQ, /handbook and /porters-handbook) is wide enough to cover documents which we can write. So this is not a problem (of course it's only my point of view). Problems like web server's load can be solved easily by upgrading machine for web server. But we should avoid beginner's confusion which may be caused by "same contents which can be refered by multiple URLs". The HTML is hypertext and why can we point *one* contents with HTML anthor from another place? Is placing same copy (of course, it's copy from user's point of view) with multiple URLs.
